Jason Licht is slated to be Bucs GM in 2018, but his future remains uncertain

According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up a one-year club option on Jason Licht’s contract for 2018 this past offseason. However, Licht was not granted a contract extension after the team finished 9-7 last year in their first winning season since 2010.

Although Licht is set to remain general manager of the Bucs for at least one more season, his future in Tampa Bay remains uncertain. Though he has played a vital role in the Buccaneers landing several talented playmakers like O.J. Howard, Justin Evans, Chris Godwin and DeSean Jackson, the talent on this team’s roster is simply not living up to its potential. The Bucs are currently sitting at 4-9 right now and have plenty of issues they’re dealing with at numerous positions. As a result, the entire coaching staff’s jobs are in jeopardy right now and Licht’s is pretty questionable as well if he doesn’t help the Buccaneers address their areas of concern soon.

The Bucs are among the most disappointing teams in the NFL after “winning the offseason,” leaving the Buccaneers with plenty of unanswered questions to address throughout the final three games of the season and this offseason as well.
